First Generation

Thomas Rogers was born prob. at Watford, Northampton, England^[1] about 1572,^[2] the son of William and Ellenor (_____) Rogers.^[3] Thomas died at Plymouth during the "general sickness" of the first winter (1620-1).^[4] He married at Watford 24 Oct 1597^[5] Alice Cosford, baptized at Watford 10 May 1573, daughter of George & Margaret Cosford.^[6] It is believed she died in Leiden sometime after 1622.^[7] Thomas and his son Joseph came over on the Mayflower in 1620, the other children (but not the mother) are said (by Gov. Bradford) to have "came over & are maried & have many children."

Thomas Rogers and Alice Cosford had six children baptized at Watford: Thomas (1598/9-1599), Richard (1599/1600-1600), Joseph (1603), John (1606), Elizabeth (1609) and Margaret (1613).

Joseph married sometime abt 1632^[10]. It is believed Hannah _____ was his only wife, but there is nothing to state definitively she was the mother of any/all of his children. Joseph had eight children, recorded (but not necessarily born) in the Sandwich, MA Vital Records: Sarah (died young), Joseph, Thomas, Elizabeth, John, Mary, James, and Hannah.

They had seven children: Elizabeth, Joseph, Hannah, Thomas (d. young), Thomas, Eleazer and Nathaniel (almost certainly never married).

DNA Results FGC59523

Since the Y-DNA line of John² Rogers (son of Thomas) died out in the fourth generation, the only surviving Y-DNA descendants of Pilgrim Thomas Rogers come from his son, Joseph.

Previous Y-DNA testing

Previous Y-STR testing through the Mayflower DNA Project, the Rogers/Rodgers DNA Project^[1] and the Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower DNA Project have identified a Y-STR haplotype for the Mayflower Rogers lineage and has determined that the lineage belongs to the R1b-M269 Y-DNA haplogroup,^[2].

NGS/WGS testing

One member of the My Rogers Family Tree DNA Project^[3] has stated they are a Y-DNA descendant of Pilgrim Thomas Rogers. They also agreed to have a FGC Y-Elite test completed.^[4] In addition, several members of the Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower DNA Project have taken Big Y tests. The results of these tests documents where the Rogers family falls under: R1b-P312>>L21>DF13>>Z253>FGC3268>>BY43439>BY4303>FGC59516>FGC59544>FGC59535>FGC59536>FGC59523.
